Super Joystiq Podcast 074: The PlayStation 4 launch
This week's Super Joystiq Podcast invites you to take a ride on the listening-mobile!
It happened, the PlayStation 4 has introduced the next generation of console gaming, and we have a lot to say about it. Ludwig, Xav, and Richard have spent some time with Sony's shiny new gaming box, and proceed to dig deep on everything from the games and services to the hardware and user interface.
And if this lengthy discussion and the full PS4 review don't satiate your quest for next-gen knowledge, be sure to check out Alexander's ongoing series of PS4 Vines! Soak it in, and prepare yourself for another round next week with a deep dive on the Xbox One.
In honor of the launch of the PS4, Amazon has provided us with a handful of PSN codes for Sony's outgoing system. Jump past the break for details on how to nab yourself a copy of Battlefield 4, The Last of Us, or FIFA 14.
